SAWTOOTH WILDERNESS

The 'Sawtooth Wilderness' is located in the U.S. state of Idaho. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service in the Boise National Forest, the wilderness was ungraded in 1972 from primitive area status, affording greater protections of the habitat. The wilderness is considered by the EPA to have the best air quality in the lower 48 states.
Wilderness areas do not allow motorized or mechanical equipment including bicycles. Although camping and fishing are allowed with proper permit, no roads or buildings are constructed and there is also no logging or mining, in compliance with the 1964 Wilderness Act. Wilderness areas within National Forests and Bureau of Land Management areas also allow hunting in season.
